--- Comment #6 from T. H. Kelly (Pink&) <[email protected]> ---
A) This would make it *harder* to find bad interwikis left on pages, which is
still something that needs to be done.

B) While the scenarios are fairly limited, there may be reasons that a project
would want to override Wikidata links on a given page.

C) Most importantly, doing this without consensus from the global community,
and from the local communities of the major-language projects, would provoke a
major hissyfit. When Wikidata was set up, the agreement was that the local link
capability would remain for the foreseeable future, and that projects would
have total control over the degree to which they use Wikidata information.

Strongly recommend closing this as WONTFIX. If individual communities want to
switch the link priority, they can discuss the matter internally and file bugs
once there's a consensus.
